How to integrate Collections with other event features
The Collections feature in Cadence can be connected with other platform features to create a more cohesive event experience. From the Collections Menu › Settings area, you can configure how your content resources interact with other parts of your event, such as schedule items, speakers, notifications, and the event home page, enhancing content discoverability and attendee engagement.
When to use
When creating a comprehensive content strategy across your event
When promoting important resources through multiple channels
When connecting session materials with schedule items
When driving traffic to collections from other event features
You must have Admin or Event Manager permissions to integrate collections with other event features.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.

Select "Collections" from the left sidebar navigation.
Link collections to schedule items by following these steps:
Go to Schedule › Edit Schedule Item
